There are three things I look for in any custom vehicle.

Subtle,,,,,example,,,,, the wrinkle in our core support on the top edge were it bends down to the fender, when removed no one notices but those of us the love these trucks

Clean,,,,,example,,,,, body parts that fit better than factory, welds ground down, no overspray anywhere, tires/wheels that fit the wheel wells, add ons that fit the bodylines, uncluttered, paying attention to little details

Quality,,,,,should go with out saying NO HACK JOBS! IF YOU CAN'T DO IT OR PAY TO HAVE IT DONE RIGHT DON'T DO IT.

I've seen alot of cars/trucks that I didn't really like but had quality work done to them and alot of imagination. I've always liked clean and uncluttered over heavily modified with every modification sold in the magazines. Anyone can buy boxes of parts and bolt them on but custom doesn't come in a box.
